#Just One Bag Dedham Fall Clean Up

With the leaves changing, it’s time for a Fall Clean Up! Join Dedham Civic Pride, Dedham Junior Women’s Club, Dept. of Public Works, Parks & Recreation Department and Open Space Committee for #Just1BagDedham and pledge to pick up just one bag of trash this October.

WHEN: October 17-30
WHERE: Your street, neighborhood or anywhere!
WHAT: Pick up a bag (or more) of trash. Log your efforts on our site and watch our collective efforts add up! Participants that log their bags will be entered to win raffle prizes.
WHO: Your family or pod group (see below for rules regarding non-family or community groups)

Visit https://bit.ly/FallClean to log your efforts and be entered to win raffle prizes. Take a photo and post to social media using the hashtag #Just1BagDedham to help us celebrate the effort and encourage others to join the movement.

Consider wearing sturdy garden gloves or investing in a trash picker for safety. Do not pick up hazardous or dangerous objects—if you come across something concerning, contact the DPW with the location and leave it there. If you go into wooded areas, take tick precautions and wear bug spray.

Please continue to take COVID precautions as well—practice social distancing, wear masks where social distancing is not possible and wash hands or use hand sanitizer after visiting public spaces.

If you would like to request trash bags from the town, or request pickup of trash following a cleanup, email Joe Flanagan at jflanagan@dedham-ma.gov.
